Oliver Stone has a fabulous series of documentaries called "The Untold Story of America'.

Streaming on Amazon Prime.

I know some think he is a bit nutty, but he explains WWII brilliantly. I trust this because he then gets the Vietnam War right.

Ken Burns is coming out with a new one on the Vietnam war.

The Jeff Flake book is the best I have read.a small book, but Jeff tells it as he sees it. I have like him for years, but when he sprinted across the base ball field that was still dangerous to stop Steve Scalise from bleeding to death, I consider him a hero. And despise Trump for bad mouthing him. Jeff is an honorable American.

It's out. PBS/Roku and Amazon Prime both have the new Burns Vietnam War documentary.

I have an 8th grader and he had a month long unit on slavery and the Civil War last year and I can assure you it wasn't about learning to farm. In 5th grade he had to choose a Civil Rights era person to do a short report on. He chose Jackie Robinson.

I'm always amused by these "the sky is falling" takes on education from people who don't have kids in school.
